HDD Docking Station

[Jocklad]

Just got this docking station a couple of days ago.

It will accept Sata and Pata 2.5 and 3.5 drives.

Can also be used for drive cloning.

Accepts SD cards and external usb .

A very useful bit of kit.

Had a play with this on Windows 7.

Connected a 1TB USB fat 32 external hdd to host with a 250g sata hdd in the Dock also on Fat 32.

Using the supplied software it was just a drag and drop...very easy.

On linux just as easy through the home folders.

Not tried TF yet.

You can boot from the Dock if you set from USB boot.

Still experimenting........ ;D

The HDD section is for Support requests only. This thread seems more informational.

Tried the Micro SDHC card from my phone it it fitted the TF slot on the dock.

Booted from computers internal drive,Windows 7 powered up the Dock and it recognised the card.

Re-booted from the Sata drive in the Dock into LL 3.4 beta and it also recognised the card in the TF port.

Looking good.

Sounds very good

is the red button for power or to start the cloning ?

[Jocklad]

Red button is for cloning.

Power switch is at the back.
